Legislative changes often blindly affect those it shouldn't.

No this is not true the labour government in particular and traditionally look after the middle income person.
My wife is on a permanant disability and I have been trying to support her by running a business.It allows me to assist her on some occasions as she is not eligable for care. That doesn't really bother me though.
I have seen legislation past by only labour governments relating to pensions trying to find way to get them back to work. My wife would love to work but due to her disabilty no one will have her. She did have a job as a kitchen hand but had an accident over 2 years ago and has not been able to go back.
One of the legislation passed call Private Comany/Family Trust was mean't to weed out cheats. Once the legislation came through I employed 2 staff member and doing quite well. When the legislation was passed all had to go. I made the complaint the governemnt rejected it for the very reason mention directly under.
Unfortunately the typical reaction from the labour goverment was to dig up the whole lawn instead of removing the weed.
It is highly likely the government found a small loop hole with Super and decided it would be too hard to weed out the individuals so they destroyed to park to get out the weeds. What the Super issue will lead to is many more peole upon retirement claiming senior pension.
The most stupid thing about the legislations is that there seems to always be a way around it. It took me probably 5 years though before finding a way to settle down the situation but it cost the job for 5 people over the 5 years. I wonder how Centrelink felt when they encorouaged 5 more people on the dole. (They don't care)
Issues Centrelink
really tuggs at the heart strings and got so bad one time I almost felt seperation was the only way to reduce the stress. I love my wife too much for that. We seem to be in a settled period at the moment but we were looking at the possiblity of restarting some super contribution. Now that idea will need to be shelved.
